Youth Orbit

For decades, MCI has hosted the Youth Orbit event as an invitation for youth from across the province and beyond to come together to embrace their faith, connect with others, learn, grow, and have fun.
 

The mission of Youth Orbit is to empower our youth to ignite their faith and make it real and known. Our youth need us to encourage, teach, and invest in them. Our goal is to be intentional about creating opportunities for our teenagers to grow, thrive and experience God’s love and plan for their lives.  

Worship is a key aspect of all Youth Orbit events, and a highlight for many. Our services will always be led by those who are focusing on a spirit-lead, Christ centered experience.

The event is filled with group activities, sports/games, worship, teaching, a prayer room, great food and fun!
